Absolutely Loved It

They do the little things so well. Greeted in reception with complimentary upgrade. Personalised letter in room detailing all the freebies & options. Room wasn't huge, but fine for the two of us. Nice big bed, bathroom was spacious enough, with clean towels every day. A couple of English language channels on tv. Fruit platter in room on arrival. To clarify - you are given two vouchers per room per day. This gives you one free drink each in the rooftop bar. Breakfast was included - & we thought it was fantastic. Plenty of choice for both Asian type breakfast, & European type breakfast. Fridge in room, kettle for hot & cold water (on each floor you can refill it) but no electric jug. That didn't matter as free tea & coffee & biscuits most of day & most of night on Level 1. Lovely rooftop bar area - not loud & crowded, nice place to sit & catch a bit of a breeze if you are lucky & also enjoy some of the free ice cream. Staff were great & we would recommend it without hesitation.More

Room Tip: If you are a light sleeper, ask for a room away from the street & on the other side from the mosque.

- Excellent service, helpful staff, generally good English.- Very modern, spacious rooms, clean and comfortable. The windows aren’t large so don’t expect a lot of natural light. There is a long desk but it’s made of glass or transparent plastic so bring a mouse pad. The room could use more outlets. The air con blows right on the desk, so you may wish to turn it off from time to time. The room does keep the cold air in..- Good location, within walking distance of all your tourist sites as well as a couple of malls. Lots of restaurants and food carts around. I particularly liked the Red Garden Food Paradise, Yeap Noodles and Nasi Kandar Pokok Ketapang. Coffee Lane offers a superb cappuccino and chocolate fudge cake!- The 1st-floor cafeteria serves up a decent Asian buffet-style breakfast with some Western food. From 2 pm on the cafeteria is open for self-service coffee and tea and biscuits, with two self-serve espresso machines that make a fairly tasty brewed coffee as well as lattes and cappuccinos. They don’t come out very hot, though. There’s a hot and cold water dispenser on each floor.- They arranged my taxi to the airport, and the driver showed up right on time.

Room Tip: The window in my room was small and didn't offer much natural light. The A/C blows right onto the desk.

Stayed here for 5 nights. We were lucky enough to get an upgrade to the superior room. This hotel is located in the best possible location for travellers with everything you need so close. The breakfast is amazing and the rooftop bar was a regular end to our night after a long day of sight seeing. The hop-on hop-off bus tour is an amazing way to see Penang.

The room, although small, it was comfortable and clean, with all amenities needed. Very good location to explore Georgetown. Staff was friendly. Complimentary drinks each day are a plus. The only downside was the breakfast... Plenty of asian choices, but not so much for the continental breakfast.

I stayed here recently while on a visa run from Thailand and will make it my go to hotel whenever I go to Penang . the rooms are modern clean and spacious the staff are very efficient and polite from the management to the general staff, there is a rooftop bar that serves free wine in the evening and the guy who runs the bar is a loverly man who likes to chat and will help you out with his knowledge of Penang. there is also a jacuzzi on the roof with good views of Penang they also give you free ice cream there between certain hours.the hotel is right in the center of Georgetown and close to all the loverly restaurants and bars as well as shopping malls . I would highly recommend this hotel for great value for money.
